Me to every Web3 projects Slide into my DM, lets make that happen!

Just in: a marketplace for Perp DEX points & leveraged Perp exposure is now live. Every cycle, DeFi invents new ways to price the future. This is the latest one, built by ArcX, and starting on Extended.

1/ JUST IN: practical privacy at real scale is now live. 1-click privacy, low-cost privacy, private DeFi… For all assets, now live on Starknet 🧵 strk20.starknet.io/

Private swaps are live on Starknet. Here’s how to swap privately:

Shielded mode is on. Join us. strk20.starknet.io/shielded

7/ A new gaming project is now live on Starknet. Gaffer, a fantasy football game, built by a StarkWare team member. And what timing, with the World Cup kicking off this week.

It's almost time.

Shielded mode on.

Take a few minutes to seriously contemplate what the ecosystem shipped in only 5 months. Among the biggest updates: > Brought STRK to Solana manlets > Finished integrating LayerZero bridging technology, as well as Stargate Finance > Open-sourced S-two, making it possible to verify proofs on EVM, while greatly improving efficiency with recursive circuit proving (a big unlock for privacy, ZK-threads, in-protocol proof verification, and client-side proving) > Launched StarkZap v1, then v2: a TypeScript SDK allowing anyone, from Web2 to Web3 builders, to bring their apps onchain on Starknet and integrate DeFi use cases while abstracting away blockchain complexity. Already 6,000 builders have tried it, and privacy is coming soon > Partnered with EY to bring our stack and privacy to institutional players > Introduced the strkBTC plan and vision: the first Bitcoin-backed asset designed to be productive, with compliant privacy features built in > Presented STRK20s, Starknet’s privacy pool, allowing ERC20s on Starknet to be encrypted, and released its technical paper > Launched Shinobi, the protocol upgrade enabling in-protocol proof verification on Starknet, the last missing piece for native privacy on Starknet > Provided a concrete solution to Bitcoin’s quantum-computing problem > Helped Share Internet raise a seed round to build better financial infrastructure in Africa, powered by Starknet > Launched strkBTC on Mainnet and prepared the upcoming full launch of STRK20 on June 9 > Released the multi-collateral feature on Extended, allowing traders to trade perps using USDC, XVS, USDT, wBTC, and ETH as collateral across crypto and TradFi assets > Got native USDC on Starknet integrated into Binance deposits and withdrawals And the intern in me can already tease that: > A solution to Bitcoin’s quantum-computing problem with strkBTC will be announced > More broadly, the roadmap to make Starknet fully post-quantum secure end-to-end will be announced (spoiler: most of the hard work is already done) > STRK20s will likely go bananas, with the launch on 9th June and the Privacy SDK to be released soon after > And much more 40% of the year is already done. The ecosystem has shipped a lot, but there’s still much more to come in the remaining 60%. Lock in. Seriously.

Starknet didn't just solve scaling, it solved trust.

Privacy that works where crypto already is. Shieldnet is coming.

What exactly is STRK20 and what does it unlock? Watch @MayaDotan_ explain it in under 30 seconds.

PSE (@PrivacyEthereum) recently conducted user research into private transfers. The research surfaced the core problem clearly: privacy works technically, but it still isn’t practical enough for how crypto is actually used. 🧵

Why are you still renting cars with Fiat? $STRK goes brrr at @travalacom now: - 50,000 locations - 1,700 rental suppliers worldwide touch grass at 200mph and pay with crypto. This is the way: travala.com/cars

Want a say in Starknet's direction? The Foundation is looking for new governance delegates and distributing 1.7B STRK in voting power to the people who want to influence protocol decisions. Applications are open now. → Apply here: airtable.com/appQVOyi21x4PVW…

zk will finally achieve PMF by breaking the token swapping loop crypto has a profitability problem: most business models in the space rely on market volatility. exchanges need trading volume, defi needs yield farmers, and even rollups need network activity to generate revenue. when markets calm down, everyone feels the squeeze. but zk tech offers a path to true product-market fit beyond the boom-bust cycle. here's how: 1. current crypto business models are hooked on volatility the entire ecosystem runs on activity: more trades = more fees. also entire infra like rollups only make money when people are actively using crypto. this creates a dependency that makes sustainable growth nearly impossible. 2. zk tech can break this dependency zk proofs have massive utility beyond crypto markets: -> identity verification without revealing personal data -> privacy-preserving ai model verification -> secure data sharing without exposing sensitive information the key breakthrough: client-side proving. with next-gen provers like stwo (potentially 100x faster than current stone prover), users will be able to generate zk proofs directly on their devices. this opens the door to applications far beyond blockchain scaling. 3. crossover potential = real PMF when zk tech jumps to mainstream sectors, it creates revenue streams completely independent from crypto markets: -> government digital ids -> healthcare data management -> privacy for enterprise ai starkware's "integrity web" vision is about extending computational integrity beyond finance. with stwo prover expected on mainnet in 2025, the infra is ready for this expansion.

One click away from full post-quantum safety. On Starknet, upgrading from a regular wallet to a post-quantum-safe one will be as simple as one click. We’re fully ready for the post-quantum world.

The strkBTC faucet is now dry. The faucet may return soon.

Bitcoin is a $1.9 trillion asset, and less than 0.5% of it participates in DeFi. 99% sits economically idle, and not because people don't want to use it, but because public finance has limits. STRK20s fix that. Privacy that works for crypto.

Starknet's quantum moat has layers. STARK proofs at the base. Smart contract accounts at the edge. Cairo in the middle. Proofs can survive differently, accounts can sign differently, and developers can build the next version without asking for permission.
